php with mysql

Post by thesteelmam »

hi all
iam new in php
i need to test a forum on my local machine
windows xp sp2 and iis
i installed php with mysql extensions and run good on iis
when i test the forum to install its database it gives me the following error:

It appears as though you do not have MySQL enabled for PHP. You will need a working copy of MySQL and PHP's MySQL extensions enabled in order to run Vanilla

i installed mysql server correctly and create a database on it also i copy libmysql.dll to system32 and php directories

what should i do to make this work?
thanks
